    Description

    Hi there!
    We’re Maude and Jack, a couple living in Dublin with our two dogs, Peggy and Podge. Our place is usually pretty lively, and we’d love to welcome someone from abroad to help out and share the "real" Dublin experience with us.
    We aren't a big hostel or a farm—just a local home that could use an extra pair of hands with the day to day stuff.
    How you can help
    We’re looking for someone easy going to help with:
    * The Dogs: Peggy and Podge need their daily walks and plenty of attention.
    * Around the House: General tidying, light cleaning, or maybe some painting and gardening if the weather stays dry!
    * In the Kitchen: We love cooking and would be happy to help with meal prep or try out some recipes from your home country.
    The Setup
    * Your Space: You’ll have your own comfortable private room.
    * Location: We’re just a 15 minute bus ride from the city center, so it’s easy to get to the pubs and museums while having a quiet place to come back to.
    * Food: We'll provide ingredients and usually eat dinner together in the evenings.
    Your Free Time
    Since we’re so central, you’ll have loads of time to explore places like Phoenix Park or Trinity College. We’re also happy to point you toward the best local spots that most tourists never find.
    Would you like me to tweak any of the specific tasks mentioned, or perhaps add a bit more about the neighborhood?
